Vermont recently joined a number of states that require pay transparency in the hiring process. Under Vermont’s new law, companies must include the compensation or range of compensation for any job opening in Vermont.
Compensation range includes the minimum and maximum annual salary or hourly wage that the employer expects in good faith to pay for the advertised job. Any posting for a role paid on commission should include that fact but the range of commission-based compensation is not required in the posting.
Additional guidance will be issued by the Vermont Attorney General’s office by January 1, 2025.
